You and me under the world tree

She is like that kind of simple but sweet cake, the outer layer is suffocating, even if you don't get close, you will know that she is used to keeping people away thousands of miles away.

However, this cold temperament is actually caused by her living habits.

And as long as you gently peel off that layer of shell, you can feel the sweetness underneath.

When she was resting, or letting go of her guard, that kind of obsequiousness that seemed to be brought about by her blood was born spontaneously.

Of course, that's not to say it's uncommon.

After all, temperament is actually a very mysterious thing. It can be produced by one's unintentional actions, or it can be a specific action.

To put it bluntly, all of this actually depends on my usual behavior.

And when a character like Dietrich, who usually looks extremely stern, occasionally shows such a weak attitude, it will make the onlookers feel an unspeakable sense of complexity.

He was attracted by her, but he didn't dare to approach her casually.

Hodder isn't really the type to appreciate such things too much, though.

Although since he entered the room, his gaze has been moving towards Dietrich intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the reason why he behaved like this was not for appreciation.

His thoughts and gazes of admiration and amazement towards her had been completely settled long ago.

Although the girl who was sitting on the chair as if she was meditating with her eyes closed didn't know about this aspect, but it was the truth.

Also because of this reason, what Hodder is worried about now is actually only the most simple problem, which seems to return to the original point.

"The soup...was originally prepared for a better taste."

In the end, Hodder still couldn't hold back the uneasiness and restlessness in his heart, so he directly broke the tranquility that was almost lonely.

"For people who travel long distances, whether it's bread or meat, it may feel a little uncomfortable to eat... Maybe the body really needs these, but sometimes they can't eat them. Considering these, I made the soup."

While Hodder's words were lingering in the study, Dietrich just stared at the simple dinner in front of her.

Perhaps it was because the moonlight shone on her body, which instantly made her figure psychedelic.

Therefore, Hodder did not notice her expression at the moment.

Or maybe it's because she has always hidden herself very deeply, and almost no one can perceive her deep emotions from her body.

Of course, it is also possible that caring leads to chaos.

In short, under the influence of various factors, Hodder did not notice that Dietrich's mood was actually very complicated at this time.

If I have to say it, this should be the first time she has been pointed out about eating.

When she grew up in the court as a prince, she mostly followed her father and queen mother for three meals a day.

Although her father, King Dittmar, didn't care much about food, that woman Otilia liked to enjoy, so she naturally grew up with delicacies from mountains and seas.

And even when traveling, no one dared to point fingers at her sporadic eating patterns.

So when she heard someone nagging in her ear for the first time, she didn't feel any boredom in her heart, but had such a novel feeling.

Accompanied by this novelty, the mood that had already calmed down inevitably became restless again.

"The best time to eat it has passed. For the broth... it's more comfortable to drink it a little hot."

Maybe not everyone thinks so, but it is true for Hodder himself.

Although he tried his best to get rid of the froth when cooking the soup, after all, he didn't use the tedious steps of cooking the broth, so when it cooled down, the whole bowl of broth would inevitably look a little greasy.

"If it cools down, it's really undrinkable... I personally don't like the greasy taste."

After saying this, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

He walked to the desk and was about to reach for the bowl of soup.

"Eat the bread first... and a glass of fruit wine. As for the broth, I'll reheat it."

However, before he could do anything else, Dietrich finally reached out and pressed his hand.

"It's alright..."

"Ok?"

"That's good..." she said in a low voice.

Then, she didn't care about the fruit wine and bread, and didn't go to get the spoon, she just picked up the warm soup bowl with both hands.

Unknowingly, her hands were shaking.

But in the end, she still drank the warm broth slowly.

As he said, the broth had a greasy feel to it when it was warm.

But at this moment, Dietrich herself didn't care about these, she just sipped the warm broth, and didn't care about the small piece of meat that the cook thoughtfully placed in the soup.

She just drank the soup, feeling the warm touch slide down her throat and esophagus, and finally fell into the empty stomach.

Then, she looked up at the man.

"Actually... this bowl of soup can be hot."

"I said it's okay..."

"..."

Dietrich's attitude was naturally as tough as ever, and Hodder couldn't say anything for a while.

He just watched her face quietly, until finally, her shiny red lips parted slightly:

"Hodder..."

"Ok?"

"Maybe... I'm really a little tired, maybe."

At this time, the study was quiet, only the moonlight shining.

The breeze blows in gently from the window.

That silent atmosphere inevitably made people a little nervous, even Dietrich could feel uncomfortable all over.

Even, she felt a little inexplicable shame.

Because she also said before that the identity of the royal family is for life, and there is no 'rest' in any case.

But, she was just tired.

"Just tired."

Just as she looked down at the bread on the table, a calm and gentle voice came from her ear.

"Since you are tired, why don't you take a break, no one stipulates that you must continue to give for nothing."

Then, Hodder let out a long sigh:

"You are just yourself, so you only need to be yourself, there is no need to force yourself to be someone... Wearing a mask for a long time will make you tired."

Chapter 25: Unpleasant

Time passed peacefully like this.

Except for the two parties involved, no one knew about the episode in the study.

It might be shameful to say it, but in fact, for most of the maids and cooks in the lord's palace of Beian City, they didn't know the news of Her Royal Highness's return until the early morning of the second day.

However, in fact, they cannot be blamed, because the servants in Beian City are different from other places.

Perhaps in other places, the maids who are trusted by His Highness can enter the apse where His Royal Highness really lives.

Because of their trust, they even lived with the royal family, and some of the maids even received combat training, and then equipped with various weapons to become a shield girl.

However, Bai'an City is different.

In the past, due to various reasons, Dietrich never trained any maids, because she knew that she could not train maids, and the gender must be kept secret.

Therefore, although the maids need to enter the apse to clean, they have a 'time ban'.

After 10 o'clock at night, they can no longer enter the apse, and naturally they have no way to enter the study that His Highness usually uses.

Unless His Highness orders to reopen the kitchen or other facilities...

The servants have always strictly abided by the rules set by His Royal Highness, so later, their habits in this regard have become a mechanical cognition.

As long as His Highness did not give an order, it seemed to mean that she had no needs.

This point did not change even when she lost her former status as His Royal Highness Prince and became Her Royal Highness Princess.

Although this cannot be regarded as a mistake, because the court itself needs rules.

Without a single rule to follow, the cella would become chaotic.

And there is a rule that can be clearly written, so even the servants can feel at ease, because they at least know what they can do and what they need to do.

However, the palace in Bei'an City may have attached too much importance to this rule. In addition to the solitary character of His Royal Highness, the interior of the palace will inevitably look a little lonely and deserted.

Not much human touch.

And when you glance over and stare at the long corridor, it even makes people feel a lonely and heavy feeling.

After all, Hodder has been here for almost two months, and he himself has a deep understanding of this.

Although he himself is not afraid of this feeling, and the tranquility without being disturbed is more helpful for him to run his brain to think.

However, this does not mean that he will like this environment.

Maybe it's because he doesn't think he's a top-notch wise man in the world, and he doesn't need an absolutely quiet environment, or even feel lonely.

Or maybe it's because he has long been accustomed to the humane court in the Netherlands, and prefers the beautiful garden centered on Barnstock, the tree of children.

I don't know when it started, but he likes to lean against that huge tree, and then have a good sleep.

Fortunately, his self-control is not weak.

For him, it is good to have some things, and it is harmless not to have them.

It is actually very interesting to observe the operation of other kingdoms from the perspective of a hidden observer who is not in any establishment.

And under his observation, the whole city of Be'an is running in an orderly manner.

The news of Her Royal Highness's early return naturally caused quite a disturbance, but the disturbance subsided in an instant.

Then, under orders one after another, messengers were continuously dispatched in Be'an City.

Part of it is naturally to go to the territories that have just been conquered. She has already thought about what to do with the surrendered lords, so she simply wrote it on the letter and handed it over to the commanders of the garrison she arranged. .

If it was in the past, Dietrich might have to personally supervise, because she would never allow any disturbance in the territory under her command.

Not even with that possibility!

But now, her thoughts gradually faded away.

And in the end, she didn't even bother to care about it.

Compared with those things, what she paid more attention to was the messenger sent in another direction.

Naturally, they headed for the border between Denmark and Goth, where the weapon masters Hiltebrand and Studus were fighting, and they had the intention of smashing through Denmark's well-arranged defenses.
